    Recommend a wireless charger for S7 Edge?

    I'm trying to decide whether to get a wireless charger for my S7 Edge. I have looked at a few options but can't seem to find one that meets my requirements. Reviews often mention a noise when charging which, as it will be right next to my bed, is a definite no-no. Also I don't want any bright...

    Buying secondhand Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge?

    Hi, I am thinking of buying a S7 Edge and can't find a new one from a reputable supplier for less that £580. So I'm thinking of buying a secondhand one. Please can anyone tell me how I can tell whether it's a UK model, not an import and whether there is anything specific that I should be looking...

    Phantom notifications when there is nothing to notify

    I factory reset my Note 3 due to battery issues. The jury's still out as to whether this fixed it but I now have another problem. I get a notification sound at random intervals - can be 3 in 30 minutes or 1 every 6 hours. There is no notification to be seen when I drag the bar down to look...

    Help Note 3 from scratch?

    Just bought a Note 3 to replace my Note 1 and it looks great. I'm having serious battery problems with my Note and I can't pin it down to one 1 app. My plan was to build up the Note 3 from scratch, installing each app at a time to see if there was a problem. When I booted up it asked if I...

    S-view style case with better protection?

    My new Galaxy Note 3 is in the post to replace my original Note so I'm looking for a case. I love the idea of the S-View case but when you take the back off and replace it with the S-view case there is no drop protection from the look of it. Is there a case with S-View functionality which...

    Galaxy Note turning itself off

    As in title, my Galaxy Note 1 has suddenly started turning itself off at random. This started yesterday and has happened 3 or 4 times since then. The only thing that has changed is that I am in the middle of changing providers from O2 to Three so took the O2 SIM out yesterday to sort out the PAC...

    Help Battery running down

    Over the last few days I have noticed that my battery is running down way more quickly than usual on my GN7000. Previously it would last the whole day. I am not a power user but do check the phone frequently and use it as calendar, surf, email etc. When I realised that it seemed to be running...

    Help Can't stop Talkback as not available in Settings

    I was surprised to see an update available the other day and I updated. Still on 4.1.2. I think it started then but I now have a Talkback icon on my bar and when I drag it down it says Talkback is activated Tab to go to accessibility settings. But when I do there is no sign of Talkback in the...

    Help Hard reset hasn't wiped my data

    I have finally bitten the bullet and wiped my Note following the instructions via the Android Recovery Console given by NeoGrandizer on the Note 2 forum. I really wanted to go from scratch so have reformatted the SD card. All went very quickly and seemingly well so I have set about rebuilding...

    Help Unable to turn PIN lock screen off

    I use Bluetooth Wifi Unlocker to keep my Note unlocked when I'm connected to my home wifi and it's worked really well up until now. When I was out yesterday, I realised that the note was failing to lock as it normally did so I turned on the PIN screen lock under Lock Screen in Settings meaning...

    Help Trying to understand storage

    I thought I had my head around the rather strange naming conventions of the Android phones with system, internal and external storage but now I'm confused again. I currently have my Note plugged in to my Laptop and that shows my SD card as having 20.1Gb free out of 29.2 Gb. But Kies is telling...

    Help Battery problems - are there apps I can disable?

    I was hoping that Jelly Bean would help with battery life but it seems to have made it worse. I have not used my phone a lot today, certainly not more than usual amd at 2.45pm it's showing 35% 7hr 11mins after unplugging. This is with the battery recommended in the thread Bloomin' Batteries...

    Help Keeping Bluetooth on?

    I used to have BT permanently switched on on my Note 1. It always showed in the bar at the top but only showed up in my battery stats if I actually used it. I was very happy with that as every time I got into my car it connected automatically via BT and I could pick up phone calls. I notied...

    Case for Galaxy Note

    The case on my Note 1 is looking a bit tatty. I would like to find one that replaces the back, like the Samsung original case. I have not heard good things about the original case though with people saying that it peels apart quickly. Does anyone have one and are they any good? Or does anyone...

    Help Note overriding silent setting?

    I can't seem to trust my Note to stay silent when I need it to. I had the ringer and the notification set to zero and it rang at full volume, playing the Muppets theme tune in a very public place when it should have been silent! I had thought that it was a problem with Tasker but I'm not sure...

    Anything to do before Jelly Bean update?

    Waiting patiently(!) for the Jelly Bean update for the original Galaxy Note. I want to be ready when it is finally announced so I was wondering if there is anything I need to do to be prepared?

    Unable to choose notification sounds

    Not sure if this is a Note problem or more general Android but hoping for some help. I used to have my Note set up so that incoming Gmails would play a particular sound and texts on Go SMS would play a different sound. I don't know what I've done but now for both emails and texts I get the same...

    Help OTA update disappeared

    I've been waiting for the 4.0.4 update to appear here in the UK and I got a notification of an update a couple of days ago which I assume might have been it. I left it until I was at home on wifi but when I went to download it, it had disappeared. I've left it a couple of days thinking it might...

    Help OTG connection for the Note - help please

    I've bought an OTG connection kit to use with my Galaxy note and also with my iPad2. So far I've drawn a complete blank with it which is a pain as I was hoping to use it to back up my photos on holiday this week. I have tried it with both an SD card reader and a USB stick. When I connect the SD...

    I listen to audiobooks when on a long journey in the car with the family. With the Desire I had, I plugged into Aux and listenened through Winamp with Desire on max volume and turning up and down on car stereo as needed.

    Help Widgets not updating

    Not sure if this is a Note thing or more general. Like most people, I guess, I like a clock widget on my home page. My widget of choice is SDS Clock so I installed it on my new Note. Over the last couple of days I have noticed that it isn't updating the clock. This happens randomly, so that...

    Is Apps2Sd worth it for the Note

    My new Note arrived last week and I charged it, downloaded ICS and factory reset before starting to load all my apps. I had thought that if I ticked to download all my apps that what would happen but it didn't. I wasn't too disappointed as I have found that I don't need all my old apps as some...
