[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garryknight:
Recently my phone started getting quite hot and the battery went from lasting all day with moderate use, ending up with about 30-40% left at the end of the day, to going down to 15% or less within about half a day. So I did some research and found that lots of people had the same problem, and not just with the SGS2 but also with the SGS3 and SGS4.

Various fixes were put forward, both from people who had solved their problem and from people who didn't appear to know what they were talking about. I tried the more sensible fixes and nothing worked.

When I checked my Battery stats in Settings, I found that the media scanner was hogging the battery and keeping the phone awake all day, so I was one step nearer solving the problem. I killed the media scanner process and my battery life improved. But each time I restarted the phone, the problem came back.

I unmounted my 32GB micro-SD card (an absolute requisite in my use case) and waited. Interestingly, the problem continued, even though that's where the vast majority of my media files reside. So I went hunting.

I noticed that even though I'd unmounted the SD card, the /storage/extSdCard folder showed that it had one item inside it. If you know about Linux file systems, which Android uses, you'll know that external storage is mounted onto an existing directory - in the case of my SD card it's mounted on /storage/extSdCard. And if the external storage is unmounted, that directory reverts to being an ordinary directory.

When I looked inside that directory using ES File Explorer, I found a folder that had been created by an app called FlickFolio. It's a great app as it allows you to look at your Flickr stream, sets, etc, on your phone or tablet, and it keeps thumbnails of all your photos on the device to make viewing them very quick.

Now, my current Flickr stream has 9,263 photos in it, taken over the last 6 years. And this directory had over 55,000 subdirectories and files in it, taking up 3.02 GB. I had no idea that they were there because when my SD card is mounted, the FlickFolio directory disappears. It's still there but the mounted SD card covers it up.

So, I deleted the FlickFolio directory. It took nearly 10 minutes for ES File Explorer to do the job but not only did I retrieve a 'missing' 3.02 GB of internal phone storage space, I found that the media scanner is now behaving, and not sucking my battery to death. And my phone isn't overheating. And I'm a happy bunny again.

Wirefly has the Note 3 $100 less than the Sprint price and free activation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] One4mNoWhere:
Would Bestbuy price match that because I got mine from there
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] craigwillie:
Wirefly is an online retailer so I guess ut might be ymmv on the price match.

You also do not have to pay sales tax.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] laestrella:
I picked up my note 3 from best buy and priced matched with radio shack for the 250.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] caffeiNater:
Are you switching to Sprint to get this price? I see $249 for new customers and $299 for existing customer upgrades.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mainstang:
Best buy price matched the 299 upgrade price
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] laestrella:
I am an existing customer and did an upgrade. I think I got lucky. I just pulled up the radio shack website showed them the 249 and they said Ok they would price match. No questions asked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
I call BS on you guys. I just got this phone from Best Buy as an upgrade and i had to pay the full $350. I specifically asked if they price match with cell phones and i was told that is the only product they wont price match.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] craigwillie:
Added a line to my family plan since no lines were upgrade eligible and the Wirefly price wad $250. No BS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] -viperboy-:
I used to work for Best Buy, they price match phones to other "brick and mortar" retailers. At the time, they didn't price match online retailers, but that policy has changed since I left. I bought my Note 3 from Best Buy and I just got it price matched to Radioshack, $299 for existing customers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stanglifemike:
Not every employee in every store is going to give every customer the exact same response. If you would have asked for a manager then you could have gotten yours price matched as well. Kinda ridiculous for you to say they everyone is BS'ing about the same thing! It's a well known fact that Best Buy will price match other online retailers! If you didn't know, you must not read many posts here on XDA, or any other forums for that matter. What benefit would everyone get from lying about the price anyway!? Just because you're mad that everyone else paid less than you did, doesn't mean you should say everyone is lying. Actually, that's pretty freaking lame of you! Lol

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
How the hell are they going to lie in my face and say everything in the store can be price matched except phones? Im going back and pkaying hardball! So whats my best price match choice...Radio Shack? Could have swore they are 350 too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] laestrella:
Go to another best buy. What they told you was untrue. Like I said I got lucky with the $250 that I paid simply because the manager didn't inquire any further after seeing the price on the radio shack website. But at the very least you should get 50 off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] new57:
i went to radio shack on Saturday and was 299, but they only had it white..did not buy

woke up Sunday and saw radio shack for 249. i thought, let me try best buy and see if they will price match. First the manager said no, only 50 gift card. As he saw me turn to leave, he said let me check, came back a minute later and i got the black note 3 for 249.

Windows mobile unplugged

USB glitch afflicts latest MS gizmos

Get breaking Mobile news straight to your desktop - click here to find out how

A glitch with Microsoft's PC to mobile device synchronisation software is preventing users from synchronising their device as normal. Microsoft has issued a software update designed to resolve the issue.

Some users of Microsoft ActiveSync 4.0 have reported problems when using the USB connection of their PC to connect to a device with Windows Mobile 5.0. These challenges are "likely caused by interoperability with desktop firewall applications or applications that manage network traffic," according to Microsoft.

In Europe, potentially affected devices include the Orange SPV M5000, iMate JasJar, iMate K-Jam, T-Mobile Vario, T-Mobile MDA Pro, O2 XDA Exec, O2 XDA Mini S, O2 XDA Phone, FSC Pocket LOOX N500, Dell Axim X51 series, HP PPC series (rx1950, hx2190, hx2490, hx2790), Qtek 9100, Qtek 9000, Qtek 8300 and Qtek 8310.

An update for ActiveSync is scheduled to be available in late November. For most users the better option would be to download updated software from Microsoft's Windows mobile website. Microsoft has also produced a troubleshooting guide covering the problem here. ®

Hello,

I have a UK I9505 o2 supplied and compared to my old o2 supplied i9100, the signal has been poor from the onset. If I install Pure Google pre rooted android 4.3 V2.1 the signal my phone receives is much better. I currently have Bobcat V6.0 installed and it is poor for signal also.

Is there a reason for this and if it is to do with the modem, which is the best modem I can use on o2 in the UK for my i9505?

I would leave Google on my phone but the Google rom doesn't have separate volume control for notification and ring which doesn't work for me. I need this to be separate.

Hey everyone. I flashed the MI8 leak of TW 4.3, and it was decent, but I flashed the Google Edition by Jamal2367 and WiFi doesn't work, so I'm assuming it's because of this new bootloader.

Thank you for the links.

I have a question. My mom owns a kfhd7. Months ago I used kindle fire first aid (iirc) to root it. I did not have a fastboot cable, although I did get the drivers and adb working to it - I didn't want to flash a 2nd bootloader or custom recovery because I wasn't quite sure if I would soft brick it or if I could get it back without the fastboot cable. Not wanting to risk the wrath of mom... I used a utility to force golauncher, enable sound tweaks and live wallpapers. I left it like that.

But.

She somehow enabled parental controls and doesn't have a password for it... And is running out of books. So I may have an opportunity to make it a little more useful and install a custom recovery.

Not sure what to do next. Follow the 3rd thread on your list? I need a boot loader and custom recovery.

Halo?
