    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...

    Podcast Manager with storage management

    Can anyone recommend a podcast manager that has an option to specify how much space should be used / left free? I've tried Doggcatcher and don't really like it. I'd happily use MyPod 2 but it's still lacking basic features (eg mark played or unplayed). Thanks :-)

    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

    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?

    Video player with sorting and mark as watched

    Hi, I'm looking for a video player app that has sort options (preferably by date added) and the ability to remember resume points and which videos have been watched. MX Player would be ideal if they added sort options. Can anyone recommend anything?

    ROMs What's the point of a custom rom?

    I'm curious as to what advantages / disadvantages I'd get from a custom rom. I have Googled this many times and spent many hours reading up on it but still can't see the point. Updates - I know there'd be more frequent updates, but there'd also be more frequent bugs. I seem to read a lot that...

    Task List / To Do with location

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a to do app with location based reminder, preferably with a sync to a service so the data isn't just on my phone? I looked at Remember The Milk, but I generally don't like subscription-based services. I looked at MyLifeOrganized but the location-tracking is a joke...

    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.

    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...

    Sony Liveview 2 - what's on the left of the screen?

    Hi, Does anyone know if the Sony Liveview 2 / MN2 has a notification LED? I've just received one and to the left of the screen on the black border there is something that looks like it might be an LED. I haven't seen it light, but it's a perfect circle about 1mm across and dead centre...

    Tasker ignoring location on boot

    Hi, Hopefully this shouldn't be too difficult... I have a task for when I'm at home. It's based solely on location and it switches wifi on and silent mode off. Problem is, if I reboot the phone while I'm at home this task appears to run, and initially the two settings are correct but then...

    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...

    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...
