I picked up a USA unlocked note 9 recently. The sound volume is mostly fine for most things (including notifications). However, the speaker phone is very soft. Is there anyway to boost the volume on the speaker phone ? I hear the s10+ is better but i just got this thing so would like to find a...

There is a new OTA notification; any clue what it contains ?

Any clue what the new update being pushed today contains ?

I have a note 2 that I haven't used for a couple of years but now I am going to europe for a week and wanted to use it in europe. It currently has clean room (I think) 4.8 which is around 2 years old. Then the guy who was updating it moved on to another device and a while later I upgraded to...

Before I upgraded to lollipop the weather applet location would not require a gps lock (which is not possible in my apartment) and would use approx methods (most likely towers since wifi/blue tooth are off). After the upgrade it requires a gps lock (the setting is high precision which is...

On the note 2 there is a toggle to use the flash as a flash light (status bar). Can't find it on the note 4 ..... any way to restore it ? i know there are apps but they have excessive permissions or serve ads and the buit in phone feature was convenient.

So the left most screen is this news thingy that is similar to flipboard; also when i flip from screen to screen they are no longer circular (like the note 2 - what I mean is when i get to window n; it doesn't then go to window 1) can i make it circular (even if I can't remove the flipboard) ?

I have a couple of generic chargers I've been using with my note 2 for a couple of years. I realize these will charge slower than the samsung fast charge charger but is there any reason we can't use them or will they impact battery life (I would think they would increase battery life); i supect...

So there is a new review by phonearena: phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-Review_id3812/page/3 In the text they indicate that the speakerphone is very weak not very loud; but in the DB test they show it has the highest DB (loudness). What am I missing ?

Does the tablet come with an ap that use the IR blaster; and if not any suggestions in this arena ? -- Hum searching it sounds like watchon is suppose to do the job; thoough it is a bit confusing from the description of the app on google-play.

Does anyone know where to find a non-corrupted electronic copy of the manaul ? The one on the webiste is corrupted after page 17 (well 17-50 or so).

I currently have an issue with no GPS under cleanrom ace 4.2.5; does anyone know of a fix ? Is this a common issue on verizon? Also can I reflash 4.2.5 to change options without wiping the phone ?

I have a note 2 arriving this afternoon and I would like to unlock the bootloader and flash stock samsung experience. My understanding is that I download and run CASUAL (link in general forum) from linux using oracle java 7 and the system will be prepared for flashing (have bootloader unlocked...

If you install cleanrom can you tether without a hotspot plan or does at&t disallow such? Also with at&t purchase of verzion 700mhz spectrum does the fcc agreement now apply to at&t ? (this is for a tierd plan not unlimited)

So i'm debating between white and grey; in the store I tend to prefer the white due to contrast the white border makes with the display (on the surface it seems to make the display stand out) but i prefer the grey because it makes the buttons (at bottom) more visible and seems more stealthy. I'm...

for those of you (hopefully someone?) who have the note ii and had the droid razr [maxx]; which is brighter? Also which one has better outdoors visibility in bright light ?

So I've been thinkign about buying a note 2. Have purchased a razr last year (13 months ago) I'm not elegible for an upgrade; but it has god awful battery life (it predates the maxx; which pissed me off). - So I wanted to check verzion final price on the phone; went to website; add it to cart...

I'm a bit confused; on the note 2 there is a hotspot configuration. If you have a tired plan is it free to use; or do you have to use an alternative (such as foxfi) to avoid charges? When I click on it it doesn't seem to mention anything about payment.

So everyone (including me) has noticed that the transformer slows down when doing i/o. I originally thought this was a hardware issue (slow memory? slow bus?) but from various threads it sounds like third party os fix the issue. So I have two questions: Can someone explain what the asus kernel...

I'm currently on verzion but kind of not happy with them so thinking of switching to at&t and buying a note 2. I'm curious (esp if you are in boston) of your experience with the phone with regards to call quality or at&t in general. My understanding is generically gsm phones tend to be more...

Unlike threads for verizon phones (nearly every phone has long threads on reception) I've not seen any comments on how reception is for this phone? Is this a difference between cdma and gsm or no one has any complaints with the note 2 reception ?

I'm currently on verizon which is required to allow hotspot usage for tiered plans; is at&t allowing such on the note 2 ? - I'm thinking of switching to at&t given that verizon business practices (ala locked bootloaders) is getting on my nerves and samsung devices generally have poor cdma...

Asus has this really nice mail widget that simply shows the number of unread messages. I have a 7.7 inch tablet I'd like a similar widget. Checking google play I see nothing similar; so is there an easy way for me to copy this widget from my infinity to my other tablet ?

I've done a bit of searching but hvaen't been able to find much info. Does the tf700 have a decent dac (i know the speakers are said to be weak; but how about audio out to headphones/iem ) ? Should it be on par/worse/better than the tf101 ? Hum. Actually i don't even know if the dac is built...

I've just started transencoding from 1080p to 720p (bit rate around 1500-2000) for playback on my transformer (i'm using moboplayer and mxplayer). The playback is ok but not quite as smooth as I would like (and is being handled by software). I found this thread...

I'm fairly sure I did something wrong when transencoding mkv files to avi (h.264) but the thing that is esp confusing is they play fine on the asus transformer. - On the razr (using the same video players) there is significant (multiple minutes near the end) out of sync between the video and...

This thread suggest that jpeg images are being compressed on 3g - has anyone observed this or seen a contradiction ? - http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid-razr/476289-image-viewing-looks-bad-via-3g-but-great-wifi.html

So I picked up a new razr (first smart phone) and I'm trying to get email to work. I'm new to andriod but not linux. I can receive email fine; but I cannot send email (I send a message; it indicates sending but then it comes back a few seconds later and indicates it failed to send the mail)...

Has anyone tried one of these external batteries with the razr ? If so any they could recommend first hand? (this woudl be strictly for trips - like at airport or on airplane - not for daily usage) ?

For those of you with the verizon version of the nexus how is signal strength (4g, 3g and call) compared to otther phones (such as razr and rezound). Over at phandroid folks seem to be saying that 4g is a real issue (very weak signal) and perhaps a few dropped calls.

Nearly every picture of this phone I've seen it has a rather large search bar at the top of the home screen. Can it be removed? If not - could it be removed with root ?

Can anyone comment on first hand usage how th EVO3d screen compares to the reszound in bright light ? [I've seen the evo3d but have not been able to look at the rezound outside.]

I know others have asked this question and i debated tagging my question/comments on an existing thread or starting a new one. I played with the two phones side by side at a verizon store and had these observations. THe question is mostly along the lines of did I miss something signnificantly...

Can the cancellation mic be disabled or turned off (toggle switch) ? If not is this a hardware limitation or an interface issue (i.e, if no method currently exist could they add software toggle at a later date to allow you to enable/disable it ?)

I'm a bit confused as to whether there is an fm radio on this device (still product researching). From what I understand the specs at various location indicate it has a fm radio; the user manual talks about the sprint fm radio (which is radio over inet) and there is no default radio application...

I'm mostly posting this for feedback in case I missed something significant - I spent about two hours playing with the epic touch and photon at a sprint store and had these observations: I had looked at the photon when it first came out and was very impressed (esp the screen quality outdoors -...

I noticed the other weekend that when I visit a website that has a flash input that wants input I can't enter any input. Is this a known issue or is there a known work around?

Monoprice has two different 6ft USB 3.0 cables: product id 6506 and product id 7821. Has anyone tried both or either of these and found if both or either works for charging the transformer (as an extension cable): http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=usb+3.0+extension+cable&x=0&y=0

Whenever I start the browser it sez google is auto login due to security setting. But for the life of me I cannot figure out how to disable this; this is mostly a security issue when using a public network. Also not sure there is any benefit for google to auto login when using the browser (is...

Hum. How does one obtain the list of running processes and cpu usage et all ? I thought the newer versions of android had some sort of built in task manager but i can't seem to find one in the menu ?

I down loaded GPS eseential and noticed that it could locate 0 satellites. I then noticed on the notification bar an indicator that GPS is being searched. Maps locates my position but I suspect it is using triangulation (though not sure here); it claims my location is accurate within 70 meters...

I changed the setting of screen auto off from 2 minutes to 10 minutes and now the screen never turns off. I tried setting it to 30 seconds and after about 15 minutes it did not turn off. Is everyone having this same issue ?

So I downloaded moboplayer and qq player and both can play movies fine from sd card however with ear buds and volume the sound is very weak (soft). I suspect (though not sure) some of it might be my encoding (it was ripped from a dvd on a linux box - I own the dvd so I can re-encode if that is...

If I purchase a female to female adapter and plug a device (such as usb memory stick) into the cable will the transfomer recognize it and be able to mount it as a disk ? How about other devices such as keyboard ?
