Hi all
Thanks in advance for any help.
I've finally made the switch to android from 16 years (not a typo) on BlackBerry. I grabbed a Samsung note 4 and am loving many aspects but I'm missing some things that were on my BlackBerry and am having trouble finding solutions.
I have some questions for the pros below and would really appreciate some help.
1) bedside mode. I love having my phone by my bed but at night I want WiFi and mobile turned off and no notifications except alarm clock. I've been using flight mode but it doesn't do everything bedside mode does on bb. Any ideas?
2) "connected to WiFi network". I get this message pretty constantly and its pretty maddening as it goes over top of whatever I'm doing then
goes away. Its terrible at night when I'm reading on kindle in dark mode and this big white message comes up and blinds me. I have the smart switch turned on as otherwise I kept stalling on websites probably due to lost connection.
3) hub. I really miss my hub. The notifications all in one place was awesome and i find the drop down menu just too confusing and full of non messaging type things. Any solutions?
4) trusted spaces. Any way to get this on KitKat? I understand its coming shortly on lollipop so not a huge deal.
5) I find google now doesn't listen that well and s voice is even worse. I have both set to listen with different keywords. Any tips to improve this?
All in all I am appreciating many aspects of android but definitely missing some polish that's in bb
Thanks in advance for any help !!
