Which Micro-sim adapter to use on the Galaxy Note?
I've heard many horror story about most micro sim adapter breaks slot.

Microsim adapters??

EDIT: oh i know what you mean now. Wouldn't it be easier to just buy a SIM? If it's TELUS, swing by to my shop and I'll give you a free one.

That's what she said.


But seriously good size tho.

Is anyone else running saurom 7.1 having weird issues where the lockscreen theme will conflict with each other? I'm using a theme for milocker but I'm noticing that if I don't reboot at least once a day my lock sreen theme sliders will disappear, then the background will change to the tw pic then milocker just kinda stops working and defaults to tw???

Just recieved my OTG (On The Go) cable from eBay. only like $3

looks like a male Micro USB connected to a female USB. Pretty simple

*note thats a mini USB not a micro
I can now hook up a USB stick for extra storage. now I have unlimited storage without having to un-mount SD cards

16GB + 64GB Micro SD + 64GB Usb stick = 144GB of or or
:

you can also hook up a mouse or keyboard too, but your battery will die fast.

if you had some sort of dock to rest it and have the kb hooked up, that's like having a little PC

lol i just found out Go Launcher can do it natively. set ico layout to custom, then move the slider to 7x7. you can also adjust the icon sizes themselves.

Is there a specialized samsung phone specific jack for their phones? Aside from the oem headphones with an ultra slim plug in just about any stereo jack has a head thats too fat to clear any of the aftermarket cases...

If its a mini->Std USB this should work too?

Beware of breaking your usb port with thos stubby ones. Too much leverage. Thats why i chose the longer corded ones.

[c3m]

anyone using CyanogenMod 9 (ICS)?
thoughts?

[Simplex123]

I think that's only for the international N7000 version.

If I have the OEM wall charger cube and cable plugged in WITHOUT the phone connected, it makes a buzzing noise. Anyone else having this problem? It's pretty annoying and I want to figure out it's my phone or the charger.
