Almost lost my beloved Note! - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

So as usual, I was on my way home with the bus. When I wanted to get out at my town I couldn't find my bus pass any more. Two girls helped me find it but as soon as I got off the bus and it drove off, it struck me - I left my phone in the bus!
I rushed home to turn on my computer and check Prey - thank God I installed it a few days ago! Since I was in the bus I had put the phone to mute because I didn't want to bother other passengers with annoying notification sounds.
It seemed as if it were near the train station where I got on the bus, so I drove there right away. In the meantime, I talked to public transport customer service and they told me I had to take better care of my stuff. Also, they only did effort finding things like laptops (while this phone costs more than most regular laptops).
However, when I was at about 300 metres away of the train station, my moms phone rang. It was my phone calling. A girl said she found my phone in the bus and I could pick it up at a town next to mine.
When I arrived it turned out to be the same girl who helped me find my bus pass.
I'm pleased to have realised there are still genuinely honest people, and thank God I have my phone back.
Just wanted to share this story with you, letting you guys know that losing your phone might not necessarily mean you won't ever find it back.
However, please take this as an advice and install anti-theft software on your phones. You never know when a hectic situation occurs, making you lose sight of your phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Note

Android Lost. Check it on the market.

Thank you for sharing your Story....

ShopSavvy Coming to a WM phone near you!

This is the only app I miss from my Android experiment. It's due to hit with the Windows Mobile Market. Guess I'll have to upgrade to 6.5 now.
ShopSavvy now will use Bing Maps instead of Google.

I tried it on the MyTouch 3G before I returned it for a Touch Pro 2, and while it's an awesome little program it always had few or no listings for my area, and some of the stores it missed on products I know have said products in stock. If it can improve it's local listings, I'd definitely jump on it again.
any word when this apps coming?? this apps really useful and bad ass!!! hope that its coming sooner then later cause they did say its coming for wm6.5!!
I emailed them about it a couple of weeks ago, and all they said was they were still working on it. I couldn't get much out of them at all.

I just e-mailed them and await a response.
I already told my loved ones that there will be no Christmas this year unless I get ShopSavvy!
Just got a repsonse back from Big In Japan... The WiMo version has been stalled out a little bit due to difficulties with the MANY different camera configurations and a few other pressing projects that have fast approaching deadlines. But don't worry. It's still on my radar.
Looks like I'll be headed back to Android for a while!

Using the phone killing my battery!

I have noticed that as soon as I turn on my phone the battery percentage goes down. BUT, if I leave it off for a couple days, the battery use when I turn it on seems to be still pretty good. Is there a way to get the same battery life with the phone on as when it is off and not used at all?

When I went down to my Tmo store to confront them about this problem they told me to go to another store. Since I took the bus I asked the manager to call a taxi for me. After the long ride to the nearest store I pulled up to the house at about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes, smell ya later." I looked at my kingdom I was finally there. To sit at my throne as the Prince of Bel Aire.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes

[Q] Need some major help

Okay so im still sort of new to this whole forum and so far I've talked to some great people who have helped me understand how to root, and theme haha thanks.
But this is a serious matter. My mother has Verizon wireless their tech support can't figure out whats going on with her phone and shes getting death threats and lawsuits.
She has switched out her phone 2 times, changed her number twice and it still sends out messages of spam, like to random numbers, Pretty much she's spoof'd. I have looked at her phone and I've yet to see any strange apps, I've ran scans, she doesn't even have an SD card anymore. While she was transitioning to a new phone tho, they gave her a loaner phone, before she got out of the store she had 13 new messages sent out to random people.
I'm stumped, Verizon is stumped my moms freaking out etc.
I have also updated her phone to 5.0 here are the screen shots and the actual model of the device.

Dedicated WiFi Home Phone

Dedicated WiFi Home Phone​
Can you believe people still pay for a home phone service? Well they do and they're getting ripped off. Phone companies will shamelessly sell your grandparents a dedicated home phone and charge up to $50 a month for the service! That is outrageous. The reason this still happens is because many people like to stick with what they're familiar with. Convincing someone to give up their landline can be more trouble than it's worth. Instead, I'm going to show you how to take an old Android phone or tablet and set it up as a landline replacement. This will cost you nothing since we are going to be using Google Voice via WiFi.
Step 1: Get a Retro Phone Handset
You can get either a Bluetooth handset or a regular corded option. If you are going to be setting this up for someone who is technically challenged, then just go with the corded phone. No need to add the complication of Bluetooth pairing to the mix.

Step 2: Setup Google Voice With Hangouts
Use this guide here to setup a Google voice account that can make and receive calls over WiFi.
Then just delete anything that is unneeded off of the phone. Set it somewhere that will be convenient for phonecalls and you're all set! You don't need a recent phone to do this. Any old android device will work.
You mean, use a phone as a phone?! Amazing.

Broken Note 4, MMC_Read Failed & More

Hey guys,
I've been visiting this forum for the last 2 years now, and always found my answer, until this point.
I was a happy owner of a Galaxy note 4 Snapdragon (910F), and always took care of it. It doesn't have any scratches or real damage, never sat on it or fell down only 1 little bump near the on/of button. So i was this really happy owner until a couple of weeks ago. My phone started to freeze, restart and showing me the MMC_Read Failed message.
so after a couple of days of searching the world wide web for answers, i decided to go the the store, since i'm still within my warranty period.
Now 3 weeks later, i called them to ask about the status of my phone. The answer stated that the issues are not covered by the warranty, because falling / pressure or impact damage is discovered and the repair costs are over 500 euro's.
After the phone call, i received an email ''explaining'' the situation: My phone was bended near the volume knob.
In the next picture you can see the bend:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
So my question to you guys: can this bend be responsible for the error's/damage of my phone. And can I be held responsible for this? Since i never wear my phone in my backpockets, and always treat it with care! Or is there any other possible explanation for this issue? Since MMC-Read Failed is a error that happens more often with note 4 users (as stated by google)
I hope to hear from you!
Greetings
Mathieu
