I just got a Samsung Galaxy S9+ yesterday and it's a lot different from my old S6. One thing I can't figure out how to change is my texting icon. I'm stuck texting as the donut. I went into my contacts and my profile picture was indeed the animated donut, but no matter what I change my profile...

I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 running *shudder* Nougat, and I just bought a brand-new, still-in-the-box-sealed-shut, not used or refurbished or open-box, Samsung Gear S2 (not the classic, the one with the smooth silver face and white silicon wristband). All was well for the first day other...

This morning I couldn't the stock email app to check my email. I literally had not touched my phone since the last time I'd checked my email last night, when it worked fine. After a long process of elimination I finally gave up and answered a text message, at which point the damned Nougat...

Sometimes my job requires me to send text messages to all of our employees, but some of them, for various reasons, can't receive or read MMS messages. It's also annoying when they reply and everybody in the group gets a dozen texts saying "okay" or "I'll be there" or worse, something private...

I have the newest Chromecast (think it's 2nd gen), Samsung Galaxy S6 (still running Lollipop), and the most up-to-date version of Localcast. Twice now I've managed to watch Netflix and Amazon Video on my TV and listened to the audio on my phone's wired headphones. (Haven't been able to use...

What I'm looking for is an app where you choose the contacts to send a text message to, type in the text, and then the app sends the SMS message to one person individually, then to the next person individually, and so forth. Bonus points if it allows you to enter more than 20 contacts at one...

I've been trying to figure out for weeks how to remove things from the predictive text dictionary. All the instructions I've found have had some version of long-pressing on "Predictive text" in the settings menu, but all that does for me is toggle it on or off. It doesn't open a new menu. I...

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 from T-Mobile. After a massive amount of misinformation from customer care, I canceled my account before the phone was active for 40 days. In addition, their computer system is telling them I never received my phone even though I had it in hand and read them...

I'm upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S3 to the S6 (not Edge or Active) with the 5.1.1 update. I'm frustrated by a handful of things I use a lot on my old phone that don't seem to be there on my new one. One thing that's really aggravating me is the native calendar app. On my old phone, when I...

I just got a T-Mobile Galaxy S6 and I really like the phone, but I don't like the new bill! I've been on Straight Talk (Verizon) for a couple of years now and am happy with them except for the lack of Verizon coverage at my new office. T-Mobile finally upgraded to 4G LTE in my town and I'm happy...

I just got a Galaxy S6 on T-mobile after a couple of years with my old beloved S3 and although there's much to love about the new phone, too, I've found several frustrating changes and I'm on the fence about keeping it. One thing I haven't found a solution for: In Jelly Bean, Samsung's stock...

The Amazon FAOTD yesterday was an older version of Splashtop (a remote desktop app), which I installed on my Galaxy S3 and liked so much I also downloaded it to my Galaxy Tab 4. The problem is, in order to use it the way I want, I have to open the menu and log into my Google account. This wasn't...

I'm finding conflicting information about game controllers for my phone and tablet and the more I read the more confused I get. Plus, in some cases I can't even find what I need to know. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. So here's what I'm looking for: I have a...

I have several Go Locker themes I like, but I'm getting fed up with all the Go apps. So far I've found alternatives to Go Launcher and Go Keyboard. Is there another locker app that uses Go themes?

I've seen dozens of posts about how to disable preinstalled bloatware, but I can't figure out how to temporarily disable an app I downloaded on purpose. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.2. I've been using Go SMS Pro for text messaging. I just got an Android tablet and downloaded...

I just got a Straight Talk CDMA (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy S3. I'm switching from T-Mobile S3. What's the best way to move as much of my phone as possible from one device to the other? I've looked at Samsung Smart Switch and Kies Air, but what I'm really hoping for, since I'm sticking with the...

I've been reading up on Verizon and Straight Talk but have yet to find an answer to my questions, so hoping someone can help me. Every time a friend of mine forgets to refill his Straight Talk card, when someone calls his phone they get a message about "the Verizon subscriber you're trying to...
