We have this amazing phone, it can do everything but I know I don't use the phone to its fullest potential. All I did with my phone was flash a custom rom, customize the look, play games and web browse. I know there's so many other things this phone can do, for example have your computer connected to your device. So you can edit your playlist and it will do it automatically on your phone. So I just want to hear cool things you guys do with your phone and maybe we can help each other out.
Well I use mighty text to send messages and make calls from my PC through my phone! If you haven't tried it yet.. you're really missing something! And I use Air droid to do most of the other stuff between my phone and PC!
Have you ever tried Bluestacks? You can download that to your PC and use all your app's on your PC! I use what's app mute on my computer than my phone!

Fullest potential? I regret saying this, but a touchwiz ROM is a good start, :/

Here's a test for you. Play video and pop it out to the background and play a game.

Sorry to disappoint you but this phone doesn't do much more than other phone. It just do it faster and better. But it all depends on the apps. I have yet to see an app ONLY for the i9300.

Hi,
I am very annoyed with Google drive combined with pdf readers! I put my reading materials (pdf) on my Google drive account (offline mode) but every time when I switch focus to something else like music player PDF reader closes and then I have to load from Google drive again and scroll back to my last Page. I don't want my pdf reader to close but run in the background like connectbot!

This had been bugging me for ages and I just couldn't find a solution....until by accident. So i thought there might be other out there also wondering.
Q. How do you get from the bottom of the APP Draw back to the top without having to scroll all the way up?
A. Just double tap the notification bar! that's it.
You only need to tap once
Also works for blinkfeed

Anyone get the hbo go app working on note 3? Playstore shows incompatible. I emailed them and they said they are aware of it. Wish I would have backed up the app from my note 2 to try it.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I haven't had a chance to watch much but it appears to work. I'm working off a backup from my note 2, just like you mention. Isn't there an xposed module to fool Google? You must be rooted of course.
I tried the xposed module and it will let it show up, but will not let me download it. I would love a copy of that apk.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I have it on mine, loaded it from my Titanium Backup off my note 2, works so far, other than having to clear data on the first launch on the note 3. I'll see if I can get the APK off tomorrow.

Can you actually play videos? Of all the people I know that have tried it, the app will launch but not actually play anything.

Hbo go and max go work of the same platform. Max go is available in the play store but once you open it to start the video will stop.

I can get showtime to work and play video on 4G but not on wifi. I can get hbo go app to work until I try to play video. It won't work on wife or 4g. Also won't work with hdmi/ mhl adapter. It reminds me of other apps that have some sort of root checker. But I'm no expert.
It loaded from the play store market via chrome and works no problems.

Install it on another device, then use APK Extractor to get the APK. Sideload it.

I've always liked AOSP based roms, but now with the S4 I'm inclined to stay with Touchwiz because of the superb camera app: the quality of the pictures is high and I like features like eraser. Are there alternatives that can match this app? I'm willing to pay for it, but I like to choose well instead of spending the money on an app that doesn't deliver. Would like to hear your experiences!

Yeah. I use the LG camera app which is almost as good, on an AOSP Rom. I can't attach it from tapatalk .....

Just about any of the compatible cameras can be an alternative to the Touchwiz
camera if for some strange reason you want to downgrade your camera. LOL
