Just got a Note 3 last night, and found that they actually downsized the grid from 5x5 on my original Note (i717) to 4x4 on this one (N900A). What gives? Is there an easy way to change the layout without loading another launcher? I like touchwiz, now that CPU strain isn't a problem like it was...

So I took a stab at CM 10.1.1 stable that came out yesterday. Gotta admit that it's smooth and I like it a lot, the only issue currently hitting me is crappy bars on reception (where normally on stock from AT&T I had full bars). I am going to guess here that maybe it's the PRL, and I need to...

Supposedly 10.1 went 'official' for all devices that had a stable build, of which I thought we were one - but if you go to download it from the website, and do all the filters (samsung, phablet, cm 10.1), we don't get listed - you have to go back to CM 10. What's the scoop? I'm really getting...

I've got an app that is listed as 'disabled' in application manager list, but when I select it to try and re-enable the button is grayed out and says 'disable' on it as if it was never disabled to start with. How do I un-stick this app? TIA

I've had the basic 'email' and 'exchange services' apps disabled for a long time because all I've used is gmail since the beginning. (done via either rooted phone disable originally, or now just manage apps and disable, no root required) Now I have a reason to use them and while I can click...

I tried CM a while back (WAY back, actually - pre-ICS) for the i717. It wasn't bad but after a while I went back to stock because for me it just 'felt' better. Hard to explain it other than that. In any case, I've been on full stock ever since and was happy with it. Then Official JB comes out...

I jumped from stock to CM10 and have found an issue I need resolved, but am not sure how to go about it. On stock, I didn't have /sdcard/ is the path for the internal memory /sdcard/external_sd/ is the path for the actual add-in slot you buy yourself. This is great because the file explorer...

On the stock image there are two apps that I would like to have available under CM10, but after doing a titanium backup on stock ICS, I can't get them into CM10 JB. com.sec.android.app.controlpanel.apk (the task manager) com.sec.android.app.myfiles.apk (the built-in 'my files' file manager)...

I changed the ROM on my friend's phone (they got my retired Epic when I upgraded to a note), taking a backup before hand, and it turns out that they had a bunch of contacts stored in their phone rather than in Google. After the verbal admonishment was done about using google to keep contacts...

I installed CM10 and it was doing fine for a while, but suddenly any sounds other than the ringtone itself and the click sound of selections nothing plays anymore. Notifications/alerts are just silent even though they show up in the list and are apparently detected. Did I trigger some sort of bug?

Figured I would share this just because once I found the right pieces to the puzzle it's gone beautifully. Instruction steps match URL list #'s. I put the downloaded files into my external SD in a folder called 00-CWM so that it always shows up at the top of the listings. First off, the...

So, ever since my note came out I've been running just the stock, and recently rooted it to get rid of some bloat. I've been waiting for a good point to hop over to CM10 and I think now is a good time (CM10 M2 release, OTA update ability, etc). The question is - HOW? I've not had much luck...

My note has been acting strangely lately. I had let the battery run fully down after a couple months of use and did a full charge cycle, but when I tried to start it up, I'd get 'SAMSUNG' and then it'd shut off. This repeated a good dozen times until it finally woke up and did a normal boot...

Stupid question - what version of Android is CM10? ICS like CM9 or JellyBean? So far I've found all sorts of information on CM10 (features and nifty doodads) but not a shred on what version the operating system actually is.

Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to use NFC on my note? I thought I was trying something simple by attempting to share a photo from my note to another but I am apparently just not Getting It Right(tm). I'm running a rooted stock OS with cruft disabled/removed. NFC transfers are...

I'm trying to get data moved over from my previous phone (an Epic - non-touch) to the Note for a book catalog app. On the epic I've found the data I want - I think - under .android_secure, but I don't know where to put that on ICS for the note. I'd REALLY prefer not to have to duplicate this...

This mentions the note in the title, so I suppose it should work - always a skeptic though. For less than $2 I think I'll try it though. My home-made job is pretty craptastic, if functional. http://www.amazon.com/T-Flash-Adapter-Samsung-GT-i9100-GT-N7000/dp/B005FUNYSA

Just got my Note (previous Epic user) and put in my SD card from that phone. Loaded up my apps as usual and went to fire things up and found... not much. A bit of investigation revealed that the note uses the modular SD slot as 'external_sd', but there's no '/sdcard' visible on my Note right...

I've currently got an Epic 4g on Sprint, and with a custom ROM I've been able to use the hotspot feature without actually having the subscription cost on my plan and it hasn't been a big deal. I'm looking at moving to a Note, and was wondering whether AT&T is going to be able to catch on and...

I managed to crack my screen and was going to take it in to see if I could get service on it at Sprint, and was wondering how much trouble I'm going to get for having a custom ROM and 'suspected root' on the device? I have a doc from 4/4/11 from sprint itself that says they are supposed to...

I'm looking into what it would take to encrypt my phone. Not just put a lock/password on the front but do the whole shebang so that if my phone is lost/stolen and picked up by someone else it will be hopefully more difficult to steal my info/data or etc. What are my options and what would be...

I'm seriously considering getting the original/European rather than grab AT&T's version but had a question about whether the LTE would work here since rather than specify a band most spec sheets I've seen just say '4G - LTE *' and the * means 'region specific'. I found a post here or there where...

I have never used Titanium Backup before for actual backups of apps. I have used it only to wipe cache data for gmail when the system was dumb and said none was in use. So here's my dumb question: Titanium backup can backup apps prior to a full factory reset, including dalvik cache, and then...

I'm taking a crack at building my own from the ground up for the epic (and to share if it does anything but crash and burn). It's been a while since I built my own kernel from complete scratch under linux, but I'm game to learn again. So right now I'm about to checkout the source but I want to...

I restored my phone from the CM9b1 back to my original ROM (via a full repartition to stock ec05 and update to ei22) and noticed that I'm getting one-way sync issues. I get email notifications, my gmail app has new messages, but when I delete them it doesn't kick back up to the web with the...

I'd like to uninstall a ROM (or is it just re-flashing stock?) so that I can do the normal update process to EL30 from EI22, and then apply a different ROM later. What's the best method of doing this? I was able to apply the ROM without losing data, so getting back to stock should preserve it...

I bought my housemate a used epic to replace his palm pre until we can look at the note or galaxy nexus later this year. So far registration with sprint has gone fine - they said the ESN was clear and it's been bound to his account without a problem. The issue is that the data connection is...

It seemed that for the first week or few after we got GB, there were new RDF's flying around every couple of days.. now it's gone dark. What's the scoop? Are we going to see a patch-fix type release for EI22 (*cough*no-CIQ*cough*) or did all of that just vanish into vaporware land?

I've posted this once in the general 'wtb' spot (non-epic specific) but it's getting no bites. I was hoping maybe one of the various people who posts here talking about jumping to some other phone model might see this - in other words, I'm looking for more specific exposure rather than going to...

Seems like every other day I get a notification that there are 2 updates for my apps on the market. If I click that notification, or go there manually from my apps list, everything is already up to date. Here's the fun part - it does this both on my epic and xoom, so it seems more account...

An interesting article came up today which made me curious about the best way to disable CarrierIQ while causing minimal impact to my phone - I run a fully stock EI22 update from the Google zip. Even if Sprint uses it in the spirit of the software, it grants them more opportunity to view into...

Yesterday I had my battery almost fully drain after 5 hours, and when looking at usage it showed that the phone was awake literally 100% of the time it was removed from the charger. How do I track what program is causing the phone to be awake like this? I just updated to EI22 and am running...

I was going to use the EC05 to EI22 update.zip file posted here to get myself some gingerbread goodness, but I have a couple questions plus I ran into a problem. Questions (have asked in multiple threads but because of the frenzy over gingerbread release it's like trying to talk at a heavy...

I hate splash screens/animations in general, disable them whenever I can, so I am curious about possibly disabling the boot animation on my xoom. No custom work, I just want it to go away because it's annoying. At the absolute minimum I guess a static image wouldn't be too bad if removing the...

Looking for a good PDF reading app. There are plenty out there but the ones I've tried so far tend to be made for phones and honeycomb just does it's scale/zoom magic to make them fit the display well - the apps tend to be sluggish though. Any recommendations for a native/HD pdf reading app for...

I'm going to a work conference and wanted to tether my wifi xoom to my epic. So far I have my epic unlocked (without wiping it) and a wifi app installed. I have run into a snag though: the hotspot app is ad-hoc mode and xoom can't talk to it. This leaves me two choices: 1 - find a hotspot app...

I'm headed out of town for a work conference, and I am taking my Epic and Xoom wi-fi with me. I've got a completely stock EC05 build that I would like to use as a wi-fi hotspot for my Xoom while I am out/about. What do people recommend as the best method to root my phone and leave it as...

I've got an Epic on stock official sprint froyo (2.2.1) and my wifi xoom (OTA updated to 3.2 as soon as I unboxed it). What I'm curious about is input on the best way to tether the xoom through my epic for data when not in reach of wireless. USB tether seems cumbersome (cables, ick), and so far...

I picked up a xoom wifi 10.1 recently, and first thing out of the box when it had net access was grab the 3.2 update. This was great as far as I could tell and so far the tablet has been excellent. I ran into a sort-of glitch though. Although the apps I have on it function just fine for the...
