    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

    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?

    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

    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

    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...

    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...

    Multiple Devices - Deleting Apps

    This is more a general android question, but want to be sure before I do anything... if i delete an app on one device will it delete on my other android devices? I was thinking about cleaning up my tablet (also Samsung), but want to make sure it won't delete anything off my G6A... logic says it...

    Two minor improvements I'd Love to see...

    1) As many have said before - Add an SD Card Slot. If you can onboard a sim, there is no reason to not be able to onboard an SD card.... 2) Add an option for Smart-Lock for Trusted Wifi network. I normally leave my location off, so "Trusted Place" doesn't do any good since it is based on GPS...

    Soon to be New s6 Active Owner

    I was using an LG G3, but since April (when it was new), I have had to exchange it under Warranty twice, and do two master resets... After complaining to AT&T about the number of "repairs" (which would pretty much make it a lemon), they agreed to let me switch manufacturers under warranty, and I...

    Hopping off the G3 Bandwagon

    When I got my G3 back in April, it looked promising and like it could be a great phone. However, it has been nothing but trouble. I am now on my 3rd G3 in 8 months due to technical and software issues, and have had to do 2 master resets since the end of October. Even LG's Bridge software (for...

    3rd Party Music App

    Hi all, I'm looking for opinions on a good 3rd party (aka - Google Play Store) music player for my LG G3 (Android 5.0.1). The features I'm really looking for are Customizable Playlists and no-repeat shuffle. A reliable, easy to work with system would be nice also. I've tried Media Monkey (both...

    Screen has gone totally wonky

    I've had my G3 since April (Android 5.0.1) and it has been fine. Then suddenly today, the screen started going all weird - a whiteish sheen on it, and then, if left on, it looks as though the phone is trying to scroll vertically instead of horizontally. The screenshot attached shows it better...

    Reset Stock Music Player?

    I was wondering if there was a way to reset the base/stock music player on the LG G3 (Lollipop 5.0.1). My situation is the base player was working fine for my needs. I had some music by the band "Kix". I added a song by a different band called "The Kix", and after uploading, all the "Kix" songs...

    Best data back-up/restore option for LG G3

    Hi all, I came over to the LG camp from Samsung recently. One of the things I liked about Samsung was their Samsung Kies desktop application, which pretty much made backing up data (and restoring - if needed) a one click process for all data on both internal and SD Card memory. I haven't found...

    Upload Music directly to Playlists

    Is there a way on Lollipop 5.0.1 to upload a song directly to a created playlist(s) using the stock Music Player? I've been getting some new music lately and there are songs I'd like to add to multiple playlists at once, instead of having to upload to Music, then open Music and add to each...

    New LG G3 Lollipop Issues?

    Hi All, My apologies if these are duplicates, but I'm just trying to see if a few of the issues that are driving me nuts with my newly activated (as of today) Lollipop 5.0.1 driven G3 are normal, or if there are fixes I am missing. I did switch over my SD card from my previous phone (Galaxy S4)...

    Auto-Downloaded "Passback.JS" - Unknown if file is safe

    Hi, Recently, my Galaxy S4 downloaded a file called "Passback.JS" automatically - all I know about it is that it is a Javascript file.. I do not have any applications downloaded that are obviously related to the file. I was wondering if anyone knew whether this was a valid Android file or if...
