A couple random pics from Metallica in Philly 5/12: --Right-click and open in new tab to see the full res. versions ;)

I'm using an Otterbox Symmetry case with a Spigen NeoFlex Screen Protector (wet-applied). It's recommended to use the screen protectors with a Spigen Herringbone case, but that's just the company trying to sell Spigen products. The Otterbox Symmetry case works just fine with these screen...

Hi, I'm upgrading to a Galaxy S8! My plan was to give my wife my Galaxy S5, so she can "upgrade" to that from her Galaxy Grand Prime phone. I understand both the Galaxy Grand Prime and the S5 use MicroSIMs. So, can I just wipe the S5 clean, pop in her Grand Prime's SIM card and let her carry...

Re: Chrome > .mp3 plays from web > close broswer > still playing > no active apps visible? This happens to me after I close Google Play Music on a Bluetooth connection. But I can finally close it by going to the notification panel/shutter and swiping it off. For some reason it gets stuck to...

Re: USB 3.0 speeds achievable? I think you need a UHS 3 Class microSD to get up to 30MB/s transfer speeds. Here, refer to this: https://www.sdcard.org/developers/overview/speed_class/

Oh, ok thanks. I thought Smart Switch was only for "switching" from iOS to Android. I'll check it out tonight.

So, I tried backing up my phone a few times with Samsung Kies since I got Marshmallow installed and I noticed that very little is being backed up now. Almost the entire second row of backup items, like device settings, WIFI settings, etc... etc... are being skipped due to an "error", although...

Just got it! Looks really weird too. There's a sexy new Sprint splash screen too whenever you reboot the device. Just started messing around with it. So far, feels pretty good. No sluggishness like a couple previous Android updates. None of my widgets or apps broke or needed to be reinstalled...

I use a Pin Code to secure my phone. Whenever I lock or unlock my phone, it makes a "click" sound. I want to change that sound to something else, but there doesn't appear to be any options to do that. If I go to Settings -> Sounds and notifications -> Other Sounds, the only option is to Select...

Malwarebytes has a good Virus Scanner app for Android too. I use that one.

I don't. Why not just make it optional? Why remove it completely? I'd rather have options than have Samsung pick and choose which Stock Android options I'm not allowed to have access to.

I don't see enough of a leap from the S5 to the S7 to bother upgrading. I'm just hoping Samsung gets off their lazy butts and pushes Marshmallow to my S5.

Well, that settles that. Guess I'll have to wait for Samsung & Sprint. Thanks.

Hi, I'm getting very impatient with Samsung's slow progress with Marshmallow on the Galaxy S5. In fact, I'm still running 5.0 as the latest firmware after doing all the updates. I have a Sprint Galaxy S5 (USA). I have never rooted before, but I have Jailbroken iPhones in the past, so I'm not...

Re: Why can't I update my s5 from kitkat to Android Lollipop ? "Root Existence - YES" That might be the problem? Is the phone on stock firmware?

The ONLY time I had this problem was with my videos - I had turned the phone from vertical to horizontal mid-recording and it went sideways. It corrected itself fine on the phone, but it stayed sideways with the letterbox black bars on the side on my PC. I was able to re-rotate it using Windows...

I use a passcode. This way I don't accidentally unlock my phone in my pocket. Sometimes you can accidentally press the Home Button against your leg in your pocket. Other phones have a recessed home button, so it's harder to do that. The S5's home button protrudes, so its easier to...

Ok, thanks.

QUESTION! My wife's Sprint Galaxy S4 mini is completely glitched out and making crazy sounds and other odd things. I just happen to have an old iPhone 4S. It used to be on AT&T, but my contract expired so I unlocked it and just use it as an iPod for now, with no service. Anyway, since it's...

One thing I noticed this morning - if you open your Text Message App "Messages", it will no longer appear in the recent applications screen. Not sure if that means it's always running by default or it auto-closes whenever you hit the home button to bounce out of the app. Nothing really major...
