    Help Help with changing the voice in Text-to-Speech

    I have had my N5 for about two weeks. Been working on getting it set up the way I like. Its funny how you wait and anticipate the release of a new device and run out and get it, then you spend all your time getting it set up just like your old device was set up. Anyway, I purchased a different...

    USB connections

    OK, so I am probably an idiot, but... I was looking at the actual USB 3.0 connection yesterday and noticed that the large side of the plug looked a lot like a regular USB micro plug. So I tried to insert a micro usb and voila, it worked. The tablet was off at the time and the little battery...

    Accessories Stylus for Handwriting Recognition with Palm Rejection

    Regrettably I opted to buy the Tab Pro 12.2 for $150 less than the Note Pro 12.2. Now I have run into a need to take some notes in the field and I can do so with a regular stylus using SNote and can actually convert them to text in SNote. It is sort of clunky, but it works. I would love to have...

    Help 4.3 on Verizon Note 2 Question

    Very specifically, is the Settings section on the Verizon Note 2 supposed to be tabbed? My wife's phone updated a week or two ago and her Settings aren't tabbed. Sorry for not putting this in the general discussion thread, but you can never find anything in there, especially when it has four...

    OK, I have an odd problem. Get a cup of coffee, this may be long. My company has an open WiFi network for "casual" use, but it redirects you to a log-in page one time per day when you first log-in. After accepting the disclaimer, you are redirected to our main company page. Here is the...

    I have a Verizon Branded Galaxy S4. I keep getting (every 3-4 days) an update notice from Samsung (the little pink or red Purse looking notification Icon) saying that Samsung Apps needs to update.

    For reasons that I won't bother going into, I would like to use Odin to completely replace my stock image on my phone with a new one. I don't want to root, I just want to replace the stock 4.3 image with the same. My problem is, I can't find an "official" stock Verizon 4.3 image. Can anybody...

    I had some issues with my phone last week and deciding it was time for fall cleaning, I FDR'd the phone. Before this I had about 9 ringtones, some mp3's and some wma's, that were in the media/audio/ringtone directory on my external sd card. They were all available to be used as ringtones...

    Help Stock S4 Messaging App

    While using the stock S4 Messaging app, I have noticed that, when you send a text to a group, it sends the text as an MMS not an SMS. This doesn't bother me because the group messaging works well. I have noticed although that it will not send when connected to WiFi. I can send a group message...

    I purchased a set of the LG Tone+ headphones to use both with my tablet and my S4. In reading some articles, I have found that the adapt sound feature on the S4 is designed to help compensate for hearing differences from one ear to the other. Since I am not spring chicken any more, I do know...

    I have rooted my Bionic and verified Root. I have made a Nandroid Backup of the system. I was following the guide and it appeared (at least to me) that I needed to install Bionic Bootstrap and Safestrap. I did that and now I'm not sure if I needed both of them. All I really want to do is...
