    Teddybears - "Devil's Music"

    I heard "Rocket Scientist" from the album on a radio station here, and Shazammed it to recognise. Apparently there is no legal, paid for download of this album in the UK. It is available from the US Amazon site, and I can even log in. However it won't let me use my credit card as it is...

    Stoptober

    Here in the UK this is an annual scheme by the health authorities along with several charities to encourage and support smokers give up the weed. I have gone "cold turkey" for eight days now from a twenty+ a day habit. I'm doing OK, but it has totally wrecked my sleeping. I do suffer from...

    Thoughts on this Toddler

    Given this whole forum is multinational, and the majority of our members are American I was wondering what my American cousins (and any one else out there) are feeling about this. Here in the UK I believe it may have started a backlash against uncaring indifference, and not before time. I...

    ARRRGH! but ultimately Phew and Thanks.

    Having owned my S6 128Gig for exactly one month it wriggled out of my hands and promptly down an open manhole into a large fast flowing foul sewer - next stop the sewerage treatment works. I was taking a photo of said manhole for work. Now normally, any bolted on insurance with my contact I...

    I've had my S6 three days now...

    And basically I love it, even TW is acceptable (but I still use Nova prime) one or two minor niggles. 1) photos I take in landscape orientation won't show in landscape in the gallery, they stay as a (right way up) portrait view. Obviously I'm holding the phone in landscape view. So far all...

    S6 Wireless charging and Cases

    I am awaiting my S6 128 Gig (still) and despite it's beauty I will need a case for work use. However I still want to use wireless charging. First is it possible to wireless charge through a case and if so can anyone recommend one that offers decent protection. Thanks in advance.

    Help Using Hangouts rather than stock message app

    OK, OK when you've quite stopped laughing. Even root users like me get confused! I've made "Hangouts" my default messaging app rather than Samsung's own baked in one, and joined the Google world even more. I'm liking it, but I have a problem. I sent my better half a text message using it...

    An official leak of Lollipop (V5.0) for SM-N9005 Note 3

    The official version has been leaked, and willl not trip Knox if you flash it. Personally I won't just yet, there is a lot to be said from being just behind the cutting edge. It may be still buggy. Anyway, just so you know...

    Following On from "Why we Root", a quick Glossary of Rooting terms.

    Quite a few members new to rooting (I hate the words newbie or noob - pejorative and patronising) are reading the "why we root thread" and I thought I'd give them a quick breakdown of some of the stuff we who (like to think) know what we're on about say. I say demystify the process of rooting...

    Root Official Lollipop Starts Rolling Out

    It's here, much earlier than expected, it shouldn't be long for Note 3 owners either now. http://www.sammobile.com/2014/12/04/samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900f-receives-android-5-0-lollipop-update/ And the download link ...

    Anyone with a Windows phone - is Cortana really this good?

    Root [International] Failed restore with Philz, no idea how or why.

    Yes, yes, I know I own a Note 3, but I want some input (no point on my device's rooting forum :( ). After running rooted stock for seemingly ever I ventured into XDA found a kernel I could tweak to death (Ultimate v63) Did a Nandroid, and flashed away. Didn't like it, it wasn't stable...

    A Software Update Is Available.

    OTA for Vodafone UK Firmware, but what is it, Version 4.4.4 ? Anyone know ? Tempted to do a Nandroid (I'm rooted) and try it and hope SuperSU keeps root.

    A question for US Note 3 owners.

    Please humour me. Here in the UK every Note 3 purchased is an international Note 3, an SM-N9005. Some have carrier branding which is very very light and at the most is an addition start screen ('3' UK spring to mind) and various network (carrier) apps "baked" into the firmware. Any network...

    Now that Verizon Note 3's are getting KitKat...

    I just wanted to say don't blame Samsung or Google, KitKat is great, it's implementation by carriers is a bit hit and miss to say the least. This applies to any non Nexus Android phone http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/847201-kitkat-4-4-2-release-fact-fiction.html

    SM-N9005 (4.4.2 KitKat). Oddities and Quirks on update.

    I've set this thread up mainly for the international version of the SM-N9005. Mainly because there are hundreds of different CSC codes for umpteen different countries yet it is basically the same firmware and can be used on any SM-N9005 Note 3. Which version you get is dependent on your...

    Root [International] This shouldn't happen, but I'm glad it has.

    I'm running stock Vodafone rooted firmware with Philz touch custom recovery. Now conventional wisdom says because of a custom recovery I shouldn't get OTA updates, I can keep all my settings home screens and then re root and reinstall Philz :) I shall of course uninstall Super User before I...

    Root [International] To Root or not to root?

    This thread will help you make the choice. 1) Rooting in itself is no more dangerous (in my experience and opinion) than using Kies to update. If you do it properly. 2) Rooting in itself will not stop automatic updates for your Note 3 either OTA (Over The Air) or via Kies. Installing a...

    A Nokia (Microsoft) Android phone?

    Well, I'm saddened by the continuing use by Microsoft of a once force in the mobile world. Saddened, but not surprised : Nokia announces the X and X+, its first Android phones My take on it iis rather conspiratorial on reading an email I composed to a fellow geek, but my sentiment...

    Opinions from those that actually like Touch Wiz Please.

    I know many of you claim to detest TW. I however, like it; alot. Some of the bloat ware is crap and annoying, but that can be gotten around. I do however realise that I may be missing out having never tried "pure" Android or even an AOSP ROM. Some one I know is willing to let me...

    Root [International] Fun Things To Do When Rooted :)

    OK, I'll start the ball rolling anybody can add to this. The only thing I ask is if it is dangerous in any way please tell others it could be and why (if possible). A simple but fun one, change the power up fanfare. This is in no way harmful if you follow my instructions to the letter...

    Root [International] Flashing Stock Recovery

    I'm asking this here rather than the backwater/tumbleweed city (International) Galaxy Note 3 - All Things Root Forum (Population 1 -me) as it will at least get a response. As I understand it I believe it is a custom recovery rather than being rooted that prevents OTA updates, yes ? If so...
