I've had the Galaxy Watch since March and have played around a lot with faces for it that supposedly show both the Watch and the Phone battery strength. I had many of these on my Moto360 Gen2 watch that I replaced with this Galaxy watch. The Moto faces I used would keep updated with battery...

My Note 2 had a bad battery malfunction and I ended up wiping everything and bringing the phone back to factory new before I figured out that it was the battery. So, I bought a new OEM battery and it works OK now. Except. Now, I have this overlay screen that makes it hard to use. It's...

I have a Note 2 that I've owned since new and Just had a major Battery failure issue. I ended up completely wiping the device and it's like New and I replaced the battery and it works fine now. Except. It wants me to activate it but I don't need or want to activate this phone. I have been...

Looking for Ad free Battery Saver/Speed up Utility apps for Phone and Tablets I have been using apps like Battery Doctor, Battery Saver, lots of the apps from Cheetah Mobile, etc. and really like them. But. I absolutely HATE, at a gutteral level, all the popup ads and requests to download...

I unplugged my Note 5 this morning and hit the power button to turn on the screen. I swipped the lock screen, I don't have it pass code protected, and the home screen came on. Since then I've had absolutely no response from it. The screen remains on, it hasn't shut itself down automatically...

I'm coming from the Note 2 to the Note 5 and I'm not really satisfied with the Notification tones that are stock on my Note 5. If I could transfer the old tones over from my N2 to my N5 would be great. I typically used the Whistle tone for notifications and None of the new tones on the Note 5...

I just saw this video posted on the 27th for an easy solution to getting the stylus Unstuck using s simple sheet of paper. Let's maybe get the word out on this simple solution to save others the heartache of idiocracy. The guy on the video even has teh phone open so you can see what the...

I've been reading and watching things on tips and tricks for the Note 5 since I've upgraded from a Note 2 and much has changed between the last 3 iterations. One that I just learned about today was SideSync. by Samsung. This reminds me of the Old Activesync that some may remember from the old...

Ok, coming from KitKat on my Note 2. When I push the power button on my Note 5 the lock screen comes on but, if I don't do anything within about 3 seconds, the screen shuts itself off. I can't find any option other than for the regular screen, which I have set for 1 minute timeout and it works...

I am moving from a Note 2 to a Note5 and I've been searching but cannot find anything on actually transferring my many years of notes and documents that are on my Old Note, over to the New Note. I just can't find the right combination of search topics to find anything on this. I see all the...

OK, I read Jerry's article on the SD Card changes for KK and I'm one of those people who've actually used my SD Card for storage of files and a few apps. From what I read, I can move my apps back over to main storage but, all my Ebooks, Podcasts, Photos, etc will no longer be available? Am I...

I've started noticing that the Samsung chargers aren't running anywhere near the rated output they are suppose to be running. I noticed this with both mine that came with my GN2 and the one that came with my wife's GS4. I'm using the Galaxy Charging Current app and I see most of the time, when...

I just recently upgraded to 4.3 on my Sprint GN2 and began getting this server error when I try to update my apps. I've Googled and found references to it from others using other phones and tablets. I've found many threads referencing it to the FaceBook app, but, this seems to be affecting...

OK, please forgive if it's a Noob question but I am pretty much a Noob where Android comes into play. I've read a few things here and there about the issues with the 4.3 upgrade. I was wondering if I upgraded to 4.3 and wanted to, could I use Kies to revert back to 4.2? Is there another way...

OK, I've been reading about the 4.3 update and decided that I don't want it and will wait until the other update comes to correct the issues. Problem is, I keep getting that notification to install the update. Is there a way I can decline the offer and make this stop? The only option close...

I'm wondering about apps that are a little more than battery power monitors. I'd like something that will show me the apps that are running and taking up the most memory and causing the biggest power drains on my phone. Something that would log this so I could look it over during the week and...

Over the past week or two, my Note2 has stopped syncing and downloading my email accounts. All of them. Gmail, Hotmail, RoadRunner, they all have stopped checking and downloading new emails. I have blocking set from between 9pm and 6am week days and have had it this way since I got my phone a...

I use the Email app on my GN2 to look at all my different email accounts. My problem is, online, I have many different Email folders on my accounts so I can sort and keep some emails and delete others. I use it to download my accounts from GMail, RoadRunner(Brighthouse/Time Warner), and...

I'm wondering if there's a setting I haven't found that corrects this issue. Here goes. I have a factory UConnect(Older Chrysler system) that my phone works with well enough except.... I also have a tie in to my factory RECNav radio that allows me to plug in a Red/White RCA connector and play...

OK, so I've been wondering for awhile now about using either my Note2 or, now my wife's GS4 as a mobile modem for tablets when we're on the road. They are both driving from Florida to Pennsylvania and New York in a couple of months so she'd like to be able to keep the kid happy on the long...
