Hi all, I'm in the market for a 7-8'' tablet with: 32GB internal storage (yes, I need this much despite the microSD) microSD slot and some kind of integrated keyboard, i.e. ideally one that integrates well with the tablet, e.g that acts as cover. The galaxy tab s 8.4 had a good keyboard cover...

I have an unrooted dual sim Motorola Moto G 2nd generation, running Android 5.0.2. Battery life has become ridiculous: even with minimum usage I have to charge 2-3 times a day. My other phones have always been rooted and I used apps like wakelock detector and better battery stats to find which...

When speaking to a person who has the Moto G 2014 (2nd generation), I always hear beep tones which drive me nuts and make the conversation very hard to follow. The sound seems the tone you hear when pressing a number on the dialpad, but: this happens regardless of whether I am calling her or...

Do you know if the D6633 dual sim version of the Z3 comes with a locked or unlocked bootloader? Is there a way to check? Thanks

I am considering the S5 or its dual SIM version. How easy is it to remove sim cards? Is there enough room to actually push the SIM from one end outwards? I have a Note 3 and sometimes removing a SIM card is a huge pain; I can only guess that some SIMs must be a fraction of a millimeter wider...

I am considering the LG G3 or its dual sim version (D858HK). How easy is it to remove sim cards? Is there enough room to actually push the SIM from one end outwards? I have a Note 3 and sometimes removing a SIM card is a huge pain; I can only guess that some SIMs must be a fraction of a...

I am running Android 4.4.2 on my Note 3. I have a very annoying situation whereby default applications are only saved for "Home" (i.e. the launcher) and Message (i.e. SMSs). I verified this because Android settings --> general --> default applications shows only these two categories. For...

Hi all, I have read on a number of websites that Samsung released a dual sim version of the Galaxy Note 3 in China. Samsung Launches Dual SIM Galaxy Note 3 in China | TechnoBuffalo I have found a Hong Kong seller on ebay which apparently sells it: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9002 32GB...

Hi all, does any one know if a 64GB version does or will ever exist, at least in certain countries? For the SIII, the 64GB was released many months after the 16GB one, and was almost impossible to find. Thanks. PS, Yes, I know the Note III can read 64GB microsd cards...

Hi all, I am considering getting the 4G LTE version (GT-N7105) of the Galaxy Note II, on the EE network in the UK - but hopefully my questions apply regardless of the network. I am wondering how easy it is to switch between 4G and 3G. Is there a widget or a toggle from the status bar? I ask...

Hi all, Does anyone know retailers which stock the 32GB version and could ship to the UK? More specifically, does anyone know if the rooting method for the 16GB version also work for the 32GB one? All I know is that some users on xda reported buying the 32GB version of the Galaxy note from...

The Sandisk microsdxc 64Gb card was confirmed as working with the Galaxy S2: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/418531-sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed-working-sgsii.html Unfortunately, I tested it with MIUI and it didn't work. Specifically, I tested it with MIUI...

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (UK version, bought unlocked) running MIUI 1.11.11. I tried to download the official banking app made by my bank (Natwest): https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rbs.mobile.android.natwest&rdid=com .rbs.mobile.android.natwest&rdot=1 but if I access the market...

I am riunning MIUI 1.11.11 and noticed that holding the menu button brings up the keyboard. I understand the standard behaviour is to bring up the search function, but has any one experienced this on stock roms, too? At least in stock roms, is it possible to customise what happens holding the...

I have MIUI 1.11.11 downloaded from MIUI, Redefining Android – MIUI Android Developers Is there a way to disable the lockscreen but set a pin or pattern lock? In other words, I'd like to unlock the screen only with a pattern or pin, rather than by first sliding open the MIUI lockscreen...

I managed to install the toggle 2g/3g app developed by the MasterBaron and published on: [APP] Toggle 2G/3G (Tasker/Locale plugin) [v0.0.16 / 09-28] Supports MIUI and others! - xda-developers on my Galaxy S2 with a MIUI rom version 1.11.4 downloaded from: [URL="http://miuiandroid.com/"]MIUI...

Hi there, I currently have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2, on which I installed the MIUI rom en.miui.com - Database Error which I must say I really like. If I ever get the Galaxy Note, is there any way to make the interface as similar as possible to MIUI? I could use replace Samsung's launcher...

Do you think there will ever be custom ROMs or is supporting the stylus too complex? This may be a banal question, but would the developers of CyanogenMod and MIUI, for example, have to code the support for the stylus from scratch?

Hi all, what video player comes preinstalled on the Note? Is it a Samsung app optimised for the Note? Would there be any benefit in using Diceplayer instead? But most of all, what formats does it support? These days it's hard to find a player which doesn't support the usual suspects (divx...

Are you finding the note fast and responsive, or do you notice the occasional lag, eg when loading an app, or when listing all the apps when many are installed, etc? I have seen very contrasting feedback so far, with some users comparing it to the Galaxy S2, and others saying it's definitively...

I installed the MIUI ROM, which I think is great, but am curious to understand if I can somehow install the stock video player (the one that came 'out of the box' installed with TouchWiz). Is the apk available anywhere? I am currently using diceplayer, but I'd like to compare it to the...

Does the Galaxy note support bluetooth rsap (the galaxy s2 does)? Without it, most sat-navs and bluetooth car kits won't work. I couldn't find any information on this on the Samsung website. Thanks.

As per the subject. I have just seen an ad on the Evening Standard. The ad only mentioned this branch: 272-274 Oxford Street, London, W1C 1DU If you know of other stores which stock it, please share your findings. Neither the ad nor the website mentioned the price.

Hi all, does the stock rom have a widget or an option in the status bar to disable background data? Not autosync or data, just background data. The only widget I found which does it is this: https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.mtw but it requires a rooted phone. I noticed that...
