Is my Samsung Note 3 dead for good? Water damage while charging :(

Posted: 08 Mar 2016 01:39 PM PST

Hello, sorry for my English.

The past two days I have been very sad, I have an old Samsung note 3 that has almost 3 years of my life memories, pictures, contacts numbers and some important files. I have never activated the clouds and I know that I am very stupid, but now I learned. Sadly I dont know if my phone will ever work, but any suggestion would help, I am willing to pay to recover at least 30% of my files and I do not care for the phone at all, I will buy a new one.

Here is what happened, I left Samsung Note 3 charging (using fast charger that belong to Note 5). My wife accidentally hit a glass of water that splashed near the phone, then we started to hear noises comes from the plug, I immediately pulled it out and wasnt sure what happened! my phone was working just fine during the accident so I left it in the table then return back in 2 hours but I couldnt get it to work, I thought it needed to be charged but nothing happen the phone was dead, then we noticed our note 5 charge is extremely slow to charge, we replaced it to charge the other phone and it works, also when I was trying to charge my note 3 I smelled burned by the port so I stopped. I called a friend he asked me to replace the battery so today I got a new battery but the phone wont turn on at all nor charging.

Please tell me, can my phone be fixed again? I just want my life memories in the phone not the phone itself. if I only could turn it on for 20 minutes I will move all my files and I will be happy again.

Thank you

Can we delete many unused, unwanted apps on a Note Pro 12.2 to make more room?

She uses the tablet as a giant overpowered video, audio and ebook reader. She downloads these at our house on our wifi. She doesn't and won't ever use many of the preloaded apps. Getting rid of them would make more room for what she does want.

New phone! I can hear other's but they cannot hear me,why?

Posted: 08 Mar 2016 01:32 PM PST

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy grand prime about a week ago. Just today I started having issues with calls.

I can hear the person on the other end but they cannot hear me. This goes for Facebook calls as well.
I have tried the obvious like making sure nothing is muted,tried with speaker on and off.
I even tried recording my voice. This is the interesting part. If I talk VERY loudly directly into the mic and have the volume turned all the way up on play back I can hear myself faintly but mostly a static noise. Hmmmm. I have factory reset it as well. Please, help. As this is a pre-paid phone I cannot return it. And I am 160 dollars in ! Very upsetting.

I used to have my car automatically pair with my phone call audio with my smartwatch haewei receiving notifications. Now with the upgrade it stays paired with the smart watch (call audio) whilst in the car and not use the audio of the car.

Is there an app to switch call audio to the car whilst in and reverts back when car iff

What is the tiny white circle on top of my phone and how can I get rid of it?

Posted: 08 Mar 2016 01:23 PM PST

I am using Alba 4 LTE android phone, model AC40HE. Today all of a sudden a white circle pops up and it really annoys me. I could not find out any possible solution for getting rid of it. I am providing two screenshots, 1st one is actual white circle and 2nd one is after tapping on the white circle.

Why can't I add audio to my MMS messages all of a sudden? no audio found.

Posted: 08 Mar 2016 01:11 PM PST

I have done this many times, rebooted the phone to try to fix to no avail, and for whatever reason every time I choose the paperclip to attach something to an MMS, I go to Audio, and "NO FILES" are listed at all, when I very clearly have many sound files on the phone's storage.

What happened? What am I missing? I rebooted it, still the messaging app couldn't see the audio files. I copied/moved an .mp3 file around several places to see if AUDIO button would pick it up when chosen in Messages app, but still "NO FILES" found.

I have sent MP3's before, and now they or other sound files simply do not show up, but for some reason the previously recorded audio files (recorded with the Messaging app itself by choosing Record Audio) all show up and are AMR files, but they do not show up at all, again by choosing AUDIO for what is already there.

What are the paths that Lollipop 5.1 read for sound files?? something possibly wrong with this path setup on my phone now for some odd reason? Help...;)

My Galaxy 4 talk to text starts typing

Since last weekend, my Samsung Galaxy S4 talk to text starts typing "Build a bear around where" and repeats it three times before I can talk to text it. How can this be fixed??

AT&T Settings menu different?

Posted: 08 Mar 2016 01:09 PM PST

I have my AT&T galaxy s7 that arrived today. Well I noticed the settings menu is different than the s6, and in store demos from Best Buy. Did I mess with a setting to do that? I have to scroll horizontal and through different sub menus, rather than vertical. The quick settings has a page of its own, rather than all on one vertical scrolling page.Screenshot_20160308-160929.jpgScreenshot_20160308-160940.jpg

Loving this Edge!...one issue

Posted: 08 Mar 2016 12:53 PM PST

I'm loving this phone, even more so than the S6 Edge. However, I can't pair my Huawei watch for some reason. The phone can't identify it. Anybody else having issues paring their smart watches, non-Samsung?

Thanks

using external mic to record conversations?

Posted: 08 Mar 2016 12:50 PM PST

I got this Olympus TP-8 Telephone Pick-Up V4571310W000 B&H Photo Video

Its a pass thru microphone. You put the earbud in your ear and there is a microphone on the outside of the earbud. This is to pick up sounds in your phone earpiece as you have a conversation. The other end goes into your recording device. You can record both sides of the conversation. I ordered it for when I have to call Comcast about my bill. Of course, my laptop only will use its own microphone, this doesn't work! It does work on my sons laptop with a separate mic input, but that isn't always available for me to use

I have the app called smart voice recorder. If i plug this into my headphone jack will it act as a microphone and pick up the conversation I have on my cell phone? Or, if I plug the microphone into the phone, but use a different phone for the call, will it simply record from the microphone?

Not sure if I asked that clearly. Basically, will my phone act as a recorder no matter which phone I use to make the call? If not, then I need to find a cheap recorder with a 3.5 input.
