    Question Looking for a Good Location Sharing App with Low Battery Use

    Edit - Updated Title to "Looking for..." I have looked at Google Location Sharing, but if I'm understanding it right, it appears that the person whose location you want to know has to actively share the link. Maybe I misunderstood how it worked. I was more looking for something where I could...

    Question Looking for a Good Location Sharing App with Low Battery Use

    Hi all, Just curious if anyone has experiences with location sharing apps. I'm looking for one that gives recent (but not necessarily real time) updates but that doesn't hog/drain the battery. Friends had suggested Life360, but on our phones (Galaxy S9, Galaxy A52), Life360 eats up battery the...

    Drop Protection for S7 Active

    Did some research and found the following info: Cases seem like overkill, unless you are trying to protect the back and edges from scuffs when they drop. For the screen, it doesn't look like shattering is an issue, but the polycarbonite layer used to help with preventing shatter may scratch...

    Drop Protection for S7 Active

    Hi all, I'm finally upgrading from the S6 Active to the S7 Active (got tired of not having expandable memory, plus the extra GB of RAM is a nice bonus).... After looking through a couple of phones, I finally went with the S7 Active. On my 6, I never added a case or screen protector, and while...

    Recover deleted contacts?

    Ouch - that definitely sounds like a pain. Think I'll skip all that stuff.... and wait for the people to contact me (as they were phone only contacts)... at least it wasn't anyone that was a major contact...Thanks for all the info!

    Recover deleted contacts?

    Hi, A while ago, I went through a massive clean up on my phone and deleted a batch of contacts. But the combination of fast fingers and not paying full attention caused me to delete a few contacts I hadn't intended to delete. I did some research online, but the easy method (Gmail) didn't seem...

    Fast Action Photo Mode

    Hi, I recently noticed that, unlike my previous phone, the Sports/Fast Action photo mode is not one of the basic modes offered for the G6A. In doing some research, I found the "hidden" camera modes (Access Camera -> Swipe to Modes -> Download) where it should have been, at least according to...

    Samsung Font Samples

    Tried the site, but looks like a lot of the Samsung fonts aren't on there... Thanks for the thought though!

    Samsung Font Samples

    Thank you much! I'll have to take a look and see if it has the Samsung fonts.

    Samsung Font Samples

    Just curious if there is an easy way to compare downloadable fonts since Samsung has basically made it that you have to use theirs now... I could do screenshots of each one I like, then compare those... and haven't had much luck finding any kind of sample site online - heck, I can't even find...

    7.0 Issues

    Just got upgraded to 7.0, and as someone who does customer minded Web based software testing as a career, I gotta say - what was Android thinking? 1) Notifications - now you need to press an "Expand" arrow on a notification to see more than the first line. Previously, the top notification...

    Phone Gallery and Facebook Photo selection not in sync

    Nope - no photo edits. And definitely not the ones that are appearing out of order. I even tried an uninstall/reinstall of FB, just in case that was the issue, but the same thing is occurring. Ah well. It's a minor inconvenience, and one that can be lived with. Workaround is to upload photos...

    Phone Gallery and Facebook Photo selection not in sync

    Thank you for the thought. I double checked, but that doesn't appear to be the case. For example, in my phones gallery, I looked through the more recent pictures, and everything is in Chronological order, with the most recent pictures first (regardless of whether they were taken with the phone...

    Phone Gallery and Facebook Photo selection not in sync

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this - when trying to post a photo using the FB mobile app, the photos that display show up out of order, at least based on the "Most Recent" sort that the Samsung Gallery uses. And if you've noticed this, any ideas on a cause or fix? It is a...

    Does your S6 Active run warm?

    Similar to Phoneguy - mine gets warm when charging, especially on the Samsung "fast charge" cable. Otherwise, not so much. But I should put in a disclaimer that I am a light phone user and normally don't have something constantly going on it.

    Music Player Issues

    Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had similar issues - I've never seen this happen before until I got the G6A...sometimes my music player will turn on automatically, or skip to the previous (or next) song, adjust volume, etc. Sometimes it seems to think I'm trying to use voice commands. I'm on...

    S6 Active Button activates at the slightest touch in pocket or purse. HELP?!

    This works fine for me. I set the "Active Key on Lock Screen" option to off, waited for my phone to lock, then hit the Active Key. The phone does wake up and displays the lock screen, but upon unlocking, it displays the home screen instead of the barometer, compass, or whatever else is on the...

    Guess I'm going to leave AT&T if we don't get 6.0 by the end of the month.

    This is pretty much standard with any development patch release. It will fix some things, but create new issues in the process.
