    Adding mp3 files to Note 20 Ultra

    I have about 1400 MP3 files that I created with cdparanoia and lame from my own CD collection. They work fine on my computers, and they also work fine on the Note, except that on the note I can play them only from a USB stick. That's because, as far as I can tell there's no way to move files...

    Model numbers for Note 20

    Samsung couldn't have made things more confusing if they tried. First there was the Note 20, then the Note 20+, then the Note 20 Ultra, and apparently some of them could do 5G, but not all. And I've found various model numbers, but websites give little information about how they differ from each...

    Help for using forum?

    Is there a Help for using the forum? I looked everywhere and can't find it. My current question is that the last post in a thread I started suddenly changed to a pale green background, and all new posts are now incorporated into the last post. I can't figure out why. Did I do something wrong?

    Root?

    I have Note 3 (originally USA), which I am interested in replacing with a Note 10+, but I have a few questions first. I bought my Note 3 from a local fellow on Craigslist. At the time I had a T-Mobile phone, and the Note 3 he was selling was also with T-Mobile. Sitting in his living room we...

    S21 Ultra battery

    I have a Note 3 that I'm considering replacing, and the S21 Ultra is currently at the top of my shopping list. 1) I know I can use the S-pen from the Note 3 with the S21 Ultra, but is there a hole to hold it like there is with the Note 3? Or am I just supposed to carry it around in my pocket...

    Nova launcher as default

    I have a rooted Note 3, originally from T-Mobile USA, now MetroPCS. I have been using Nova launcher for a long time and all has been well. Suddenly it no longer comes up automatically after the screen times out; instead when I turn the display back on I get TouchWiz or whatever the default...

    Configuration messages

    I have a Note 3, rooted, originally T-Mobile, now MetroPCS. At least once a week, sometimes daily, I get a configuration text message. I can stop them by force stopping OMACP, but then all text messaging is disabled. Is there a way to block just these messages?

    T-Mobile Note 3 on AT&T

    I have an unlocked and rooted T-Mobile Note 3 (N900T) that I am trying to use on AT&T. On T-Mobile I would get at least 20 Mbps down, sometimes as high as 50. On AT&T I get 1 or 2, sometimes 3 Mbps down. I mean, it is pathetic. I found instructions to create a new APN: Name: ATT Phone APN...

    Blocked IMEI fixed!

    I bought my Note 3 on Craigslist back in January. The IMEI was clean, and T-Mobile told me it was not being financed. On June 1 T-Mobile blocked the IMEI leaving me with a brick. Apparently T-Mobile lied, it was being financed and it later went into arrears. T-Mobile told me my only solution was...

    Sign-in Request

    Every so often my Note 3 displays a warning icon and when I pull down the task bar it says it is a sign-in request to my Gmail account, the one that I had to create when I started using an Android phone several years ago. I absolutely never use this account, nor have I ever given it to anyone...

    An app to pay my bill?

    Unless I have missed something, T-Mobile has created an epic fail. Like, the FIRST thing any business does is make it easy for customers to pay them. Not T-Mobile. You have to call 611 and go through mindless menuing (which I hate), or you can do it on your computer (which I don't always have...

    Replacement for Action Memo

    Action Memo suits me fine, but ever since the Kit Kat update it crashes when I try to open an old memo or a new memo. Hence, I am looking for a replacement. I want something that it will pop up when I pull out the S-Pen like Action Memo does. PS: It has been suggested that I clear the data for...

    Get rid of visual voicemail

    I have no use for visual voicemail. Like, what is the point? It seems much simpler just to select the voicemail and have the phone immediately call to listen to it. I've looked everywhere, but I can't find any way to disable or uninstall visual voicemail. Is it possible and, if so, how?

    Help Home screen font colors

    I have a mental disability following a stroke where I cannot think straight when looking at confusing colors and images. In the past I have found that phones work well for me as long as I use a plain white wallpaper. I set my Note 3 wallpaper to plain white with the Colors application. While the...

    I think I want a Note 3

    I have an SGS2 that I bought new on Craigslist within days after it was released for T-Mobile. It works great, except for one glaring problem. My local credit union has an app that allows you to deposit checks by taking a picture of it. The app works fine on my SGS2 except that when I go to take...

    Need new phone suggestions

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, unlocked, ROM from Samsung/T-Mobile, and it is working fine. I hate to give it up, but my bank has come up with a new version of its app that allows me to deposit checks by photographing them with the phone Unfortunately, the photo function fails to display the image...

    Help Financial app can't take pictures

    I bought my SGS2 within a week after it came out on T-Mobile. It has worked well for me all this time - no root or anything, just plain stock OS. My financial institution has long had an Android app, but recently they have come out with a new version that allows you to deposit checks with your...

    Software Update forces me to use Swype

    SGS2, stock, 2.6.35.11-1209942, Gingerbread UVLDH I can't stand Swype. I want Thinkbuttons. But since the last software update all I can use is Swype. When I go into Language and Keyboard there is no option to disable it. Thickbuttons is listed, and I checked it, but the keyboard is still...

    My Account app and debit cards

    Maybe this belongs in the applications department, but the My Account app is unique to T-Mobile android phones, since it was written by T-Mobile, so this seems a better place to ask. Normally I pay my monthly bill with this app. It always works fine. It would continue to work fine except I...

    Help Timeout too short when making calls

    I'm probably too stupid to be allowed to have a SGS2, but I do, and I love it. All except for when making calls, because the timeout on the screen is too short. Today I needed to call about 20 places one after the other. I would hang up one call and look at my list for the next phone number, and...

    TuneIn Radio

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 on T-Mobile, not rooted, kernel 2.6.35.11. I have used the free version of TuneIn Radio for a long time and everything has worked fine until just now. Suddenly my favorite station All Classical - Home has developed a warbling echo. Only this preset has the echo; all...

    Version update this morning

    When I picked up my T-Mobile SGS2 this morning it said there was a version upgrade available, and offered to install it. I did so, and now I have Android 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.35.11, and build GINGERBREAD.UVKL1. After rebooting it popped up a screen asking for my usual address in order to enable...
